Senior week, it's official. Their time in high school is over. After this week it was graduation practice and then graduation. Regina makes her way out of her home, bag already in the car. Ruby honks her horn.
"Come on Reg! I'm ready to party!"
Regina's parents step out with her and hug their daughter. As parents do what they do and tell her to be careful, to call every night, the usual.
"I'll be in a cabin in the middle of the forest. I doubt I'll get any service up there but I'll try. Just don't worry. It's just one week."
There is another honk on the horn. Regina rolls her eyes and pulls away from the tight embrace her parents have her in. She says her last goodbyes and makes her way to her Mercedes. She gets in the driving side and starts the car. Ruby smiled widely and quickly put on the radio loudly. Regina loves her best friend but truly sometimes she found her annoying.
The drive was going to be long. So to make the ride pleasant she tells Ruby to at least play songs the both know and like. They sing as Regina drives. They are two hours out of the state already. Regina takes a turn into the woods.
"Where did Killian even find this cabin?"
"I have no idea. I think he said his dad recently bought it and remodeled it."
They finally reached the cabin after another thirty minute drive. She sees her boyfriend's truck and parks beside it. They get out of the car and grab their bags. They look at the cabin. It was neat, made of dark wood. The door opens to reveal Killian. He smiles and makes his way to Regina.
"Hi babe" he says.
When he reaches her, he pulls her in for a kiss. Regina responds but before he could depend the kiss there was a honk. They turn and see Rumple arrive in his Cadillac with Belle. Belle gets out, leaving Rumple to get the bags. He gets outs with them in hand.
"What's up bitches! Ready to get waaassteed!"
Regina rolls her eyes and makes her way inside while the rest cheered. Beers were tossed around. Regina had found the room which Killian had clearly picked for them. Setting her bag down, she takes a sit and sighs. She checks her phone, no signal. She sets it on the nightstand and just when she starts to relax she hears a commotion outside and goes to see what was happening.
When she steps outside she sees a yellow bug that her friends and boyfriend were harassing. Inside she saw the blonde woman whose car belonged to.
"What the fuck are you doing here four eyes?"
"Who invited you freak?"
"Look at her, she looks like she's about to piss herself!"
Regina rushes to them and pushes Killian away from the drivers' side.
"Killian stop it! Leave her alone!"
She looks at her friends and tells them the same thing.
"I invited her, we are at the end of high school and you're all still a bunch of bullies. You owe Emma apologies but right now I'm going to get her settled in."
At that Emma timidly opens the door. Regina smiles at her and helps her by taking her bag. Everyone looked at Regina baffled. The pair walks inside the cabin.
"What the hell is up with your girlfriend man?" asks Rumple.
Killian couldn't stop staring. He ignores him and just walks inside, everyone follows suit. Regina shows Emma the bedroom she'll be sleeping in which is right next to Regina's and Killian's. They have been silent all this time. Regina turns one she sets the bag down. She places her hands on her pockets.
"I'm sorry for all that out there" she says softly.
Emma looks at her and pushes her glasses up. She says nothing. Regina nods and looks around. She had done this so that they could establish peace. Not that she had bullied Emma but she had known and never did anything which made her feel like shit.
"I'll let you rest and if you need anything just let me know" says the brunette with a smile.
Once alone Emma lay's down and stares at the ceiling. Regina was met in the living room with stares. She sighs and grabs a beer. She rolls her eyes as they keep staring.
"Would you all stop? This is the only chance we'll have to make amends. You guys have tortured this girl all four years."
"You didn't exactly stop us, miss perfect."
"I know that Ruby, this is also my way of making amends with that."
The group said nothing else. Nighttime fell and they have all yet to see Emma. They are still gathered up in the living room. Snacks were laid out and the beer was in the cooler. Regina is sited on Killian's lap on the love seat. Rumple and Belle are cuddled up on one corner of the sofa and Ruby is on the other corner. They hear footsteps and turn to the hall. Emma pops up and at all of them. She didn't know what to do from there. Regina smiles at her.
"Come take a sit, join us."
Emma looks at her and then the rest of the crowd. She slowly makes her way to the empty sit on the corner, near the window. She brings her legs up, knees to her chest. There was a certain tension. Regina clears her throat.
"Do you drink? Would you like a beer?"
Emma looks at Regina. She had that look that made Killian hate her more in the first place.
"Stop staring at my girlfriend, dyke."
"Killian!"
Regina looks at him and disbelief. She stands from his lap, shaking her head. She makes her way to Emma with a beer. She sits in front of her and offers the beer. Emma looks at it and tentatively reaches out.
"Have you ever had one?"
Emma looks up and shakes her head.
"You don't have to try it if you don't want."
The last thing Regina wanted to add to the pile was peer pressure. However Emma gives her a small smile and opens the can. She takes a sip and her face scrunches in disgust. Regina laughs and pats her thigh.
"It's gross at first but after a while you get used to the taste."
"Tastes like mineral water"
Says Emma softly.
Regina looks at Emma surprised. She has never heard Emma speak. The few classes they had together the blonde had been quiet. The brunette couldn't understand why, her voice was sweet and warm. Emma takes another sip which makes Regina smile. She sips her own and they both quietly look out the window.
An hour passed both had a couple of more beers. Regina was feeling slightly buzzed since she has been drinking for a while. Emma's body wasn't used to alcohol in her system so she too was buzzed. Ruby drunkenly excused herself to the kitchen. Rumple and Belle were practically dry humping. Killian having enough stands and goes to Regina. He grabs her hand and pulls her up.
Music had been put on a while ago. Regina protested as she was dragged away. Emma watched her companion be dragged to dance. Her guess was that Killian wanted to show off. When was that not the case? He turns Regina around and starts to grind his pelvis against her ass. She tries pushing him off but he holds her tighter. He starts to nibble on her ear, which is a weakness of her that her body reacted to without her consent.
Her eyes for some reason land on Emma's. Her body reacts to Emma's intense stare. She could not look away even if she wanted to, which she secretly didn't. Regina wanted to put on a show for Emma, her drunken state not letting her think clearly. She starts to sensually move against Killian, let her hands wonder her own body.
Suddenly Emma bolts up and flees to her bedroom. Regina watched her leave; Killian smirks as if he had succeeded on something. Regina finally pushes him off.
"I'm tired."
That is all she says before she too make her way to her own bedroom. Killian huffs annoyed that he was left just like that. He looks at his friend dry humping.
'Will you two go to your fucking room?" he hissed before leaving.
All of them have been completely oblivious of the shadow that had been watching from afar all night.
